Edd When my linear drive start acting sporadic it was the brushes. By sporadic I mean the autopilot would turn the wheel to come back on course then it would let go and just hold the last correction.

Ended up ordering oversized ones on line and filing them to fit. That was over two years ago and no issues since.
